 I didn't say it's working. I tend to agree with what Lysander Spooner wrote about the Constitution.

 The Unconstitutionality of Slavery - ch2? Looked like where he’s laying down his case. Or was it another writing? Would like to read.

 "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist."

It's from Spooner's No Treason essay. 

BTW I have a friend who named his kid Lysander after Spooner. Based as fuck. 😂

 I wonder if there is a short-name for Lysander. Ly? Thanks for the essay. I’m going to check it out.
